Over the last few months we’ve been telling you about American Express Canada’s Room For Thought initiative. The program called on talented, inspirational Canadians to submit their unique ideas with the hope that they’d be given opportunity to realize their potential and turn those ideas into reality. The ideas flowed in and you were called on to vote for the ideas that moved you. Today American Express Canada announced the winners of the public vote. Nearly 3,200 members of the public visited the American Express Canada Facebook page to cast their votes for their favourite ‘big idea’ in the fields of Music, Community and Travel & Adventure. The winners are:Music: Ghost II Andrew Huang, from Toronto, will be working with Emily Haines, lead singer of Metric to create an installation called Ghost II that will allow members of the public to interact with music through technology and a variety of instruments “Ghost II is an innovative and exciting idea that looks at music in a new way, and is something that has clearly captured the imaginations of voters.

E! USA: They've been co-stars, best friends, worst enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, and everything in between. Working together on set and spending their down-time together, they have formed substantial bonds and created a pseudo "soap family." Romantic relationships are tested when one person’s career rockets forward and another’s is stuck at “go.” Jealousies arise as actors attempt to jump from one soap to another, and arch rivals must find a way to coexist in this sudsy microcosm without ripping each other to shreds. All the while their goals are clear - to grow their careers and to keep their hearts and heads above water in Tinseltown - where it’s so very easy to drown. Dirty Soap premieres this Sunday 10/9c on E! Full Story

Rocco's Dinner Party airs Monday nights at 10pm E/P on W Network. Each week celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito invites three (and sometimes 4) skilled chefs to compete for a $20,000 cash prize and the privilege of cooking for his celebrity guests. The chefs prepare meals (and meal plans) and are asked to create a theme for the evening, and are judged on their cooking, service, and style. Two finalists in each episode each prepare a dinner party and Rocco and his guests decide who wins the big prize. And things can get a bit awkward cause Rocco can be SO harsh, especially during the elimination phase when he decides which two chefs will compete during the party. Full Story

OK maybe the other way around. But it’s quite possible given how good the bars are. Have you tried one yet? They’re being offered to celebrities in the etalk lounge at TIFF and even they who, you know, don’t eat for a living, are incapable of resisting. Our festival sponsor Magnum is also the sole sponsor of tonight’s Hysteria premiere at Roy Thomson Hall. Directed by Tanya Wexler, the film features Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Rupert Everett, and Felicity Jones. PS. I’ve seen Hugh Dancy almost every night he’s been here. SO pretty. And really quite a gentleman. Anyway, Hysteria is about dropping some science on the female ‘O’ and the early vibrator and being stuffy and English and really, really funny about it… back in the old days. Full Story

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 3 premieres tonight and continues Wednesdays at 10et/pt on Slice. If you’re a regular reader of our site, you’ll know that I’m not familiar with The Real Housewives series. I’m probably in the minority since it is the world’s #1 lifestyle reality franchise. Like it or not, I can say that the tensions that craft the storylines in the “New Jersey” version of the franchise are nothing if not genuine. You think your family has issues? Likely not even close. If you haven’t watched the series thus far, tonight’s episode is cut in a way that explains who’s who, what’s happening, and addresses the underlying themes in the series. Full Story

I just watched the first episode for this and, no joke, I am still laughing. When did Roseanne get so CUTE? Just me? There’s something about the way she opens her mouth and crazy comes out that reminds me of my ma the Squawking Chicken. Roseanne’s Nuts premieres tomorrow night at 10pm E/P and airs every Wednesday at 10pm on W Network. Yes, the Roseanne that you’re thinking of. The series follows Roseanne as she navigates her new life on a nut farm in Hawaii - A NUT FARM!!! - with her boyfriend and adult children who stop in from time to time. Living with Roseanne, as you can imagine, is its own unique drama. Her rules. Full Story

Back to school is a special time for parents. I do not need to explain this I’m sure. Or the Huxtables can explain it better. Remember when Cliff and Claire could not WAIT to get the kids out of the house? I won’t lie, I was one of those keeners who loved going back to school. Only because I was always really excited about my new back to school clothes wardrobe. I’d hoard my new gear all summer long just to debut it the first week of school which, actually, is kinda what I still do now. There are items I’ve purchased months ago that have still not been worn because I’m waiting for the opportunity. Like back to school. These days, “back to school” for me is TIFF. Back then, back to school involved my mother picking out my clothes but she couldn’t understand why I wanted to wear ripped jeans. Full Story

I don’t have a Facebook page. I find it a huge time sucker, but I realize I’m now part of the great minority that does not “like” lots. I AM a phone geek though. Smartphones. Regularly tweet pictures of my dogs chewing my shoes, ripping apart my books, and looking pretty sorry about it afterwards. To be fair to Marcus, it’s just Barney who terrorises the house at this stage. Marcus’s contribution to my life right now is that he smells. Awful. I think it’s his ears. Anyway, the original point is that I can appreciate a phone that lets me do these things. The HTC Status ™ can make that happen and more with one push (or touch). Full Story

Our site is pretty photo-centric and for that reason photos are a big part of our lives. And so are the photos we take at home. More so recently because, as many of you know, we added Barney to the family at the beginning of the year. Barney is now 6 months old and has probably been snapped about 600 times. Many of you can relate. Certainly those of you who’ve brought home a puppy or who’ve had a baby. The thing about digital photos, though, is that it’s really convenient to take several, upload to your computer, and then have them sit there locked away in a folder until for some reason – Twitter? – you decide to browse through them. Canon is offering away to take that really special, perfect photo out from its digital jail and transform it into a showpiece you can proudly display. Full Story
